How to Check Scopus Indexing
To ensure that a journal is indeed indexed in Scopus, you can follow these steps:
Visit the Scopus Source List page: https://www.scopus.com/sources
Search the journal by its name or ISSN.
Confirm that it appears in the list with an active status.
Check the subject area classification and publisher details.
This step guarantees that your research will be published in a legitimate, globally recognized journal.
How to Check CiteScore
CiteScore reflects the average citations per document published in the journal over a specific period. Here’s how to check it:
Click on the journal name.
Look for the CiteScore metric, which is updated annually.
Compare it with other journals in your field to gauge research impact.
High CiteScore indicates frequent citation by other researchers and often correlates with the journal’s visibility and reputation.
How to Check Quartile
Quartile ranking (Q1–Q4) shows the relative standing of a journal within its subject area:
Journals are divided into four quartiles in Scopus based on CiteScore.
Q1 journals are in the top 25% of their category, Q2 in the top 50%, Q3 in the top 75%, and Q4 in the bottom 25%.
To check a journal’s quartile:
Search for the journal and view its CiteScore rank and quartile for the current year.
Publishing in higher quartile journals improves your research visibility and enhances your academic CV.
